after stroke Of light, dedicated this great
cathedral Of a world, with mountains Tor
pillars, and sky for frsscoed ceiling. and
Towering fields for aoor, and sunrise and
midnight aurors for upholstery WHO laid
the cornor stone thereof, when the morning
stars sang toSetherr
The fact is that the whole universe was
complete cadence, an unbroken dithyranlb, a
musical portfolio The great sheet of i'm
menSity had been spread out and written on
it were the stars, the smaller Of them ulinims.
the larger Of them sustained notes The
! meteors marked the staccsto passages. the
whole heavens a ganlut, with all sounds, into
nations and modulstiors the space between

stellar light a quaver, the thunder a base
clef. the wind among trees a treble cief That
/ is the way God made ali things, a perfect
! harmony.
| But one day harp string snapped in the
great orchestra One day voice sounded
out OF tune One day discord harsh and
| terrific, grated upon the glorious antiphone
/ II was sin that made the dissonance, and that
| harsh discord has been sounding through the
centuries. All the work Of Christians. and
! philanthropists, and reformers of all ages, is
TO stop that discOrd and get ali things back
/ into the perfect harmony wksck was heard at
| the laying Of the corner stone when the
| morning stars sang togesher. Before | get

That things in general are ont % tune is as

Judgment wrongly swerved, or the memory

tional Domestic life out Of tune: Only
